Hello, running a Gateway C-140x convertible tablet that includes an "ATI Mobility™ Radeon® X2300 HD" card. I initially had problems with the usplash not displaying on boot as well as the no terminal problem. I changed around the display settings in /etc/usplash.conf to be: xres=1024 yres=768 Then installed the proprietary fglrx drivers (in the process of this I had need of a terminal when X would not start, only to find that those would not work either! Only booting recovery console would get a working terminal thankfully.)
Fixed it with the following steps: sudo apt-get install hwinfo sudo hwinfo --framebuffer looked through supported vga modes and found one I liked: Mode 0x0323: 1024x768 (+4096), 32 bits sudo vim /boot/grub/menu.lst found my kernel line and added vga=0x0323 Add fb modules to initramfs: sudo vim /etc/initramfs-tools/modules inserted: fbcon radeonfb sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer un-blacklist the module by commenting out line: #blacklist radeonfb update the initramfs: sudo update-initramfs -u -k all -v Fixed with acceptable resolution and working usplash :D. Seriously though, how'd this bug even get into Gutsy? There's no need to break previously working framebuffer modules for the sake of power management. I'd think having a working set of ttys is more important. This is most certainly a case of: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". I'd like to see this back to normal in Hardy. -- Blank ttys when using vesafb (vga=xxx) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
